PROGRAMS

Vocational Training

Our flagship program is short-term vocational training courses which offer youth a chance to enter the workforce. The program has a placement rate of 85%. Key components of the model are:

  • Mobilisation - Through digital self-learning courses promoted by a community mentor, youth are given exposure about various industries. They then make an informed decision about the course they are most interested in pursuing.

  • Training – The core training is conducted via a hybrid approach  using both virtual remote training and in-person practical training. The courses are aligned to the needs of industry partners.

  • Placement – Youth who complete the training are offered placements by Pratham's network of partners. They are then tracked for 12 months through remote tele-calling to measure their progress.
